Educational System of Ukraine 

      Education in Ukraine is compulsory and free for all children between the ages of 6 and 17. There are three stages of education: pre-school education, secondary education and further, higher education.

      Pre-school education is from 3 to 6 years of age and it is not compulsory. Parents may give their children to the kindergarten or may leave them at home with their grandparents.

Secondary education is from 6 to 17 years of age. A secondary school is subdivided into a primary school for children aged 6 to 10, a lower (middle) school for children aged 10 to 15 and an upper school for children aged 15 to 17. Primary school comprises grades 1-4. In Primary School children learn reading, writing, mathematics, natural history, music, art, labour, physical training and the English language.

After four years of primary school children go to a secondary school. Lower secondary (middle) school comprises grades 5-9. It has to give the young generation profound and solid knowledge of the fundamentals of sciences. After finishing the 9th grade pupils receive a Certificate of Incomplete Secondary Education and can go to a college of further education to study for more practical (vocational) diplomas relating to the world of work or can stay at school and continue their education in the upper grades for entering a university.

Three types of institutions offer a secondary school curriculum for the upper grades 10-11: the general academic schools; the secondary vocational-technical schools (colleges) and the specialized secondary schools. The core curriculum is similar in all three; however, the present vocational education system covers both general secondary and vocational programmes. In Ukraine there are 778 vocational institutions for more specialized needs, such as agriculture, heavy and light industry, building, services, economy and law. Many Ukrainian children attend gymnasia and lyceums. These schools major in humanities or science. The majority of the schools in Ukraine are financed by the state. Private schools are few in number.

 Upper secondary school comprises a 2-year general school (grades 10-11). After finishing the 11th grade students receive a Certificate of Complete Secondary Education which is leading to the Matriculation Examination, giving successful students access to university.

Universities of higher education accept students from 17 basing on their final tests results. Generally, universities award three kinds of degrees: the Bachelor, the Specialist and the Master. Higher education institutions offer a 5-year programme of academic subjects for undergraduates in a variety of fields, as well as a graduate course, he or she writes a thesis receives a candidate's degree or a doctoral degree.

In Ukraine there are 232 universities. The most famous Ukrainian universities are Kyivo-Mohylyanska Academy, the Kyiv’s oldest university; Shevchenko Kyiv National University, which contains the National Scientific Library and the Main Astronomical Observatory; and Kyiv Poly­technic University, the largest Kyiv’s university. Of these, Kyivo-Mohylyanska Academy is the oldest outright, having been founded as a theological school in 1632, however the Shevchenko University, which was founded in 1834, is the oldest in continuous operation.

Educational System of Great Britain 

      Education in Great Britain is compulsory and free for all children between the ages of 5 and 16. There are three stages of education: primary education, secondary education and further, higher education.

      Primary education (from 5 to 11 years of age). A Primary School is subdivided into a nurs­ery school for children aged 3 to 5, an infant school for children aged 5 to 7 and a junior school for children aged 7 to 11. In Primary School children learn to read and write and the basis of arithmetic. In the higher classes of Primary School children learn geography, history, religion and, in some schools, a foreign language.

      Secondary education (from 11 to 16 years of age). There are three main types of Secondary Schools: grammar schools, modern schools and comprehensive schools. In grammar schools, which give secondary education of a very high standard, entrance is based on the test of ability, usually at 11. Grammar schools are single sexed schools. In modern schools, which don't prepare pupils for universities, education gives good prospects for practical jobs. Children are sent to one of these three types of school according to their abilities. These three types of school still ex­ist, but their number is decreasing. They are being replaced by the so-called comprehensive schools. The main advantages of the comprehensive schools are that these schools are open to children of all types of ability from the age of 11 without exams. In such schools pupils are often put into certain sets or groups, which are formed according to their abilities for technical or humanitarian subjects. Almost all senior pupils (around 90 per cent) go there. Some parents choose private schools for their children. Most of these schools are boarding ones, where children live as well as study. Education in such schools is very expensive, that's why only 5 per cent of schoolchildren attend them. The most famous British public schools are Eton, Harrow and Winchester Collage.

 After completing compulsory education at 16, pupils can stay at school, work or go to a Further Education College. Pupils of a secondary school take “0 level” General Certificate of Secondary Education exams at 16 and “A-level” (advanced level) exams at 18 (if they remain at school), which are necessary for entering a university. Other 16-year-olds choose to go to a college of further education to study for more practical (vocational) diplomas relating to the world of work. There are 400 colleges for more specialized needs, such as agriculture, economy, art and design, and law, providing part-time and full-time education.

Universities of higher education accept students from 18 basing on their A-level results. Generally, universities award three kinds of degrees: the Bachelor's degree, the Master's degree and the Doctor's Degree. Students study for a degree which takes on average three years of full-time study. In England there are 126 universities, including the Open University which offers extramural education. Students learn subjects at home and then post ready exercises off to their tutors for marking. The most famous British universities are, of course, Oxford and Cambridge called 'Oxbridge', London School of Economics, London Imperial College, and London University.
